How do you think Peter felt after his discussion with Jesus?

Never struck me before the ordinaryness of the moment when thsi crucial exchange takes place. at home after breakfast following a troubled night probably -cant remember when it was that Jesus told him you shall betray me three times before the cock crows. He refers to the traitor and peter says who will it be your favorite reference to judas lying on Jesus chest. And a moment before Jesus has been entrusting the flock to Peter asking him three times, not a warm enough convinced response, and Peter feels the responsibility now and looks at the one he thinks will betray the one who entrusted him with a protective look. Not knwoing yet that he too will be prophetised his betrayal. And yet he will still be forgiven and be the rock as promised. brings the mind to the upper room when Jesus entesr and says peace i bring to you. Peter entrusted with the power to fiorgive and remit as he needs remitting from harbouring hostility toward Judas and felling utterly dejected too, despite the forgiveness given immediately after the third betrayial, by Jesus walking toward his promis. Keeping the word...A most powerful empowerment taht truly binds the hearts. Through the exchanging looks of Jesus and Peter and the whole disciples. Firing their souls and commitment. I can hear Jesus words being very firm and yet gentle precise dropped one by one into Peters heart and the hearts of those listening. Unexpected...such an ordinary morning at its start...when the groom is here rejoice and be marry eat...when the groom has departed then it will be time for tears in anticipated joy fro the promised return. Promises are the chains that bind their hearts

Given the scandals associated with the women Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and the wife of Uriah (Bathsheba), why do you think they were mentioned in the geneology of Jesus?

Jesus is the? son of David...the forgiven (male) sinner who then repented. God can bring good out of evil. No fall no rising through Gods most precious selfsacrifising Gifting of the self His own son.

Why was all of Jerusalem troubled about the birth of Jesus?

Not all all only those in power as specified later. they too afraid of losing their status in society fearing an upturning of Herod and thus of their sheltered positions.The new king is to be born in Judea in anotehr town. The centre of the Kingdom shifting somewhere else. in reality the heart of everyman if we enthrone Jesus and recognise him as our King. But as yet he is just born and far too small to preach the truth abot the all world encompassing new Israel. Descended to meet his bride only some members of which have kept their lamps of knolwdge - OT treasured - filled.
